[quote=Anonymous]The backpack leashes are a godsend for the young toddler set. My DS was SO WILD between 15 months - about 2.5. You could yell at him to hold your hand til you were blue in the face and he would always pull away. If you gripped his arm tight he would scream and cry. I used the stroller a lot, but he really did like to walk ... and by walk I mean run. In crowded places (the airport, busy rest stations, the mall when he got tired of the stroller) I had no problem using the backpack leash. Their understanding, ability to communicate, and impulse control at that age generally lags behind their physical ability. And starting at about 2.5 and definitely by 3, he understands standing still by the car in the parking lot while I lock up the car, holding hands and not running in the parking lot, staying on the sidewalk, etc. But that one year or so before that point is ROUGH.[/quote]
